High Availability

X family devices support High Availability configuration to provide a failover mechanism to minimize network downtime due to device failure.

High availability requires two X family devices with the same configuration and licensing that are configured as a High Availability pair. One device is the active device. The second device is a standby device. The standby device constantly monitors the active device and automatically shifts from passive to active mode if the active device fails.
